Paleogeographic Evolution and Non-clacial Eustacy: Northern South America

By Charles Drake and James L. Pindell

Isolation of the eustatic components of relative sea levels holds potential for regional and global correlation. The papers in this title assess the tectonic-depositional evolution and relative sea-level history of exposed sections of the Northern South American cretaceous. Results suggest stable short-term sea levels. This work hold important implications for oil exploration in Northern South America as well as the US Western Interior Seaway and the Gulf Coast.
